On October 15, the 2021 Smart Building "Double Carbon" Road Summit Forum was successfully held in Qingdao. The Academic Committee of The Human Settlement Environment of High-rise Buildings of the Architectural Society of China, Schneider Electric and the policy standard makers of the construction industry, the construction of zero-carbon projects, experts and scholars in various industries and developers have explored the road to green and sustainable buildings and practiced the "double carbon" strategy.
Ms. Shum Kin Lan, Senior Consulting Director of RIB Centre of Excellence, was invited to attend the event and deliver a wonderful speech, based on the goal of zero carbon, efficiency, green and sustainable, and discussed innovative development and a better tomorrow in the field of architecture with many guests who attended the conference.

At this forum, how to use innovative technologies, including digitalization, to move towards carbon neutrality and digital transformation and upgrading, turning the challenges of the times into opportunities, has become the focus of attention of many construction companies.
In the theme session of "Double Carbon Empowerment", Ms. Cen Jianlan shared the realization path of helping carbon neutrality with the digitalization of 6D buildings, discussed the opportunities and challenges of construction enterprises, put forward the development of digital strategy, and introduced the successful concept and practical application of the whole process from building design, construction, prefabrication, operation and maintenance, aiming to promote the construction industry to become a sustainable development industry, in response to the "carbon peak, carbon neutrality" action.
For digitalization, the short-term direct goal of enterprises is to focus on cost reduction and efficiency, efficient collaboration, intelligent decision-making and risk avoidance. From the perspective of long-term goals, committed to the vision of low-carbon construction and healthy habitat, creating a higher quality and evergreen enterprise is the way to go. China's construction industry is facing great challenges and responsibilities for energy conservation and carbon reduction, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and exploring transformation can better cope with opportunities and challenges.
Cen Jianlan said that the degree of informatization in the construction industry is relatively low, and to promote digital transformation, it is necessary to improve the level of intelligent management. For the future, the 6D technology of the RIB iTWO platform can control the carbon footprint of buildings throughout their life cycle in real time. Carbon footprint includes enterprises, projects, personnel and machinery in the production, construction, transportation and other aspects, the generation of greenhouse gas emissions collection (total carbon consumption), through quantification, optimization and monitoring functions, effective monitoring of high energy consumption, high emission projects, enterprises can accurately understand their own carbon emission process, so that targeted, more targeted emission reduction measures.
In addition, by measuring the supplier's contract execution ability, ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) certification compliance, new energy utilization rate and transportation distance, etc., we help the enterprise procurement team select energy-saving and environmentally friendly material suppliers, truly achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and achieve business growth and green low-carbon win-win.
"With global insight into 3D model information, 4D time schedules, 5D costs, and 6D carbon emission data, quality and safety, business resources, etc., the most critical data becomes the most valuable enterprise asset for future sustainable development projects." Management data must be attached to a scalable, growable 6D all-in-one platform that connects all of your projects, business workflows, and all of your stakeholder roles to it in real time. Cen Jianlan further emphasized.
As the boundaries of technology in today's traditional industries continue to widen, data, algorithms and AI enable digital building management processes, and BIM-based mixed reality solutions (iTWOlens) will also help engineers improve construction site management efficiency, facilitate real-time decision-making and risk mitigation.
The transformation road to achieve evergreen development and seize the opportunities of the digital era is the basic consensus for enterprises to formulate future strategies. Cen Jianlan said that as a member of the industry's ecological chain, construction units, government units, building materials manufacturers, construction units, design units, consulting companies, science and technology enterprises, etc. jointly promote the innovation of digital operation methods, share the results of digitalization, and contribute to the construction of an ecological environment with smart, low-carbon and beautiful future of urban buildings.
The forum gathered all parties to discuss speculation and discuss the future, iTWO cutting-edge technology will continue to develop the concept of building digitalization and the application of landing scenarios, and further brainstorm and make efforts to achieve a low-carbon future.
